Re-Piping Update
October 5, 2011 by Howard Olsen
RE-PIPING PROJECT – IMPORTANT
The Contract for the Re-Piping Project has now been awarded to Brighter Mechanical and we are now in their schedule.
The re-piping project is scheduled to begin in January 2012. Brighter Mechanical will be holding a wine and cheese information meeting in November or December to answer owner’s questions and concerns and provide the schedule for the riser replacement in owners’ units, how the units will be affected, owners’ responsibilities and clearance from the affected walls, protecting floors, walls, etc. and the finishing of the affected wall areas.
Owners will be notified seven days in advance before the contractors enter their units and at that time a pre-inspection of the unit will be completed. A post inspection upon completion of the drywall repairs will be completed. Brighter will display plumbing fixtures for owners who would like to upgrade. The fixtures will be installed by Brighter but the cost of the fixtures will be the responsibility of the owners.
Owners will be required to provide suite keys to the building manager. It is extremely important to obtain all suite keys for access to complete the work and in case of emergencies (quick access could be a cost savings to residents who may incur water damages). Keys will be stored in a high security lock box which will only be accessed by Brighter Mechanical, the building manager and the project assistants (police checks completed).
If access is unavailable during the scheduled work dates, residents will be charged for the cost of a locksmith.
Work in units cannot be delayed or date changed. The plumbing is all inter-connected vertically and the contractors will be working simultaneously in many vertical stacked suites at one given time.
